Book Synopsis Coming Together – Coming Apart by : John A. Desteian
Download or read book Coming Together – Coming Apart written by John A. Desteian and published by Chiron Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relationships are hard enough to negotiate without advice from outsiders who don’t know you at all. This book is not a “how-to” aimed at attaining the ideal. Rather, it is a how-it-is, an exploration of how relationships are, how they develop, how they deteriorate, how they may end and how they may even revive. Strange as it may seem, it is not a book about how individual human beings are. It doesn’t concern itself with individual human failings. Those failings are given in being human. Instead, it describes the potentials for joy, disappointment and burden that are intrinsic to relationship and by extension to the process of becoming fully human. In a world obsessed with attaining an illusory ideal, becoming fully human is the greatest threat.

Download or read book 1000 Symbols written by Rowena Shepherd and published by . This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symbols are often seen as constituting an international language and to some extent they do, but that language is far from universal--context means everything in this complicated but engrossing form of communication. Take, for example, a cross, a crane, or a swastika: each one has a different and distinct significance and meaning for a Buddhist, an art historian, or a student of the occult. 1000 Symbols resolves the problem by offering groupings of related symbols, every one with a neat definition of its history and its cross-cultural meanings.
